These plants are bulbeous. The development is erect, they tend to grow both in height and in width, giving origin to a rounded shrub. This plant in the summer assumes a white colouring; it is large in size and can reach 1,2 m high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter.
Temperatures Galtonia candicans
Let's grow the the Galtonia candicans in a luminous place, with direct sunlight. These plants don't like the cold weather during this time of year. If the minimum night-time temperatures are very harsh it is best to cover the the Galtonia candicans with non-woven fabric.If you desire cleaning the ground from the bulbous plants after flowering, wait for the leaves to dry; later it’s possible to take the bulbs out of the ground and place them somewhere dark, cool and dry, until the best season to plant them again.
Irrigation Galtonia candicans
We suggest watering the the Galtonia candicans every 1-2 weeks with 1-2 glasses of water , which means when the soil has been dry for days; if the season should be very hot and arid we can intensify the quantity of irrigations, although we must avoid leaving the substratum soaked with water. We suggest not to exceed with the waterings: if the soil remains damp too long, it can favour the development of rotten in the bulbs.
Adversity Galtonia candicans
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.
Substrate Galtonia candicans
Let’s favour soft soils, with an elevated drainage.
